What to Leave Behind

You have a lot to bring, but what you leave behind can be just as important. Be sure to leave the following with a close family member of friend:

a rough itinerary (if you have one)

the phone number and address of your hotel and the dates you'll be staying there

copies of your passport and driver's license

credit card numbers

copies of your traveler's check receipts

sealed copies of your life-insurance information and will

any other pertinent financial information

This is a tried-and-true list of honeymoon must-haves, and if you use it, we guarantee you'll have everything you need for your once-in-a-lifetime getaway.

Have fun, be careful, and if you forget something, let it slide -- this vacation is about enjoying the start of your new lives together, not mourning the cocktail dress that got left behind (but seriously, try not to forget that one!).
